<h1 class="topictitle1">Data Restoration to the Original Host or Instant Recovery Fails and the Error Details Contain "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available"</h1>
<div><div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Symptom</h4><p>After a user performs the following operations, data restoration to the original host or instant recovery fails, and the error details contain "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available".</p>
<ol><li>Perform backup for database A on a single node (the volume type is ASM) to generate backup copy a.</li><li>Use the single node as the target location for a live mount. The mounted copy and target host has a database that shares the same name with database A.</li><li>Cancel the live mount after performing the live mount.</li><li>Use backup copy a to restore data to the original host or perform instant recovery.</li></ol>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Possible Causes</h4><p>During restoration to the original host or instant recovery, the <span>OceanProtect</span> modifies the spfile parameter file. In the preceding scenario, the database fails to be started because the spfile parameter file does not exist in the database. As a result, the restoration job fails.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Troubleshooting</h4><ol><li><span>Use PuTTY to log in to the Oracle database host.</span></li><li><span>Run the following command to switch to user <strong>oracle</strong>:</span><p><p><strong>su - oracle</strong></p>
</p></li><li><span>Run the following command to add the database:</span><p><p><strong>srvctl add database -d </strong><em>Database name</em><strong> -o ${ORACLE_HOME} -p </strong><em>spfile parameter file path</em></p>
</p></li></ol>
